[Regnum] CNN founder and media manager Ted Turner has died at the age of 87. The news was announced on the channel's website on May 6.
The cause of death is not disclosed in the article, but it is specified that Turner had been suffering from a severe form of dementia for the past eight years.
"He was and always will be the guiding spirit of CNN. Ted is a giant on whose shoulders we stand, and today we all take a moment to recognize him and his impact on our lives and the world," said Mark Thompson, chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide.
Ted Turner was born in 1938 in Ohio. In 1980, he launched CNN, the world's first live, 24-hour news channel. He also acquired the MGM film studio in 1986 and the Hanna-Barbera animation studio in 1991. This allowed Turner to create the specialized networks TNT, TCM, and Cartoon Network.
After his company's merger with the Time Warner conglomerate in 1996 for $7.5 billion, the businessman lost operational control and resigned as vice president. He subsequently invested heavily in environmental projects and funded UN support programs.
